Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

My name is Agastya. I love painting, especially scenes from nature and the universe. Painting gives me peace and happiness. When I see the beauty of the world, it inspires me to explore more and imagine what lies beyond our boundaries. It also reminds me how important it is to take care of our Mother Earth and keep it beautiful by cleaning and recycling. Since life exists only on this planet, we all have a responsibility to protect it.

I'm Makinley. I've been drawing since I was 5 years old. I absolutely love drawing different things and animals. This fish makes me feel free and happy.

Hi, I'm Matthew. I like gaming, art, music, collecting things, and metal detecting. I made this piece because I was going through an odd period where my dreams were extremely vivid and colorful, but at the end would become almost distant and would fade to white before ending, almost is if they were trying to tell me, "This isn't real" before fading away. This piece reminds me of those times and makes me feel oddly satisfied and wildly confused with this strange period of bizarre dreams.

Hi there! I'm Berlin, but my friends all call me Sebastian. I made this art because I am heavily inspired by The Amazing Digital Circus, especially when it comes to creativity.

My name is Colton and this piece was inspired by my brother’s and my love of video games. This makes me feel happy and nostalgic.

I drew this because I love snakes and all the tiny details about them, their scales and eyes as they can be like human eyes or slits like cats and I have been practicing drawing hands for a bit and I am extremely happy with this peice and I hope that it means something.

At school I was doing a research project on jellyfish and so I decided to draw a jellyfish with other sea creatures, because I love the ocean and some of my favorite animals live in the ocean. Jellyfish live without brains or hearts and glow in the dark!

I am a passionate young artist that enjoys mysterious stories of older times. I enjoy the decor and appeal of castles and the time period in which they were more common. I would love to live in a castle myself one day. This was my inspiration behind my piece.

My name is Alia and I wanted to share this pice of artwork because I feel so proud I was able to make it. I am honestly not that focused on wining, but more on showing people what I am most talented at, but I DEFINITELY don’t mind winning! By the way, a Deadly Nater is a dragon that can shoot spikes from its tail and can produce a fire blast from its throat to attack if needed.

I love all animals

Hi, I'm Ivy and, yeah, I drew Sanji from an anime called One Piece. A few years ago, I was watching One Piece for the first time and immediately I was drawn to Sanji. I wasn't sure at the time why, but now I can say with confidence that he has a kind, caring personality that I idolize and look up to. While I may not make it to the final few or is as talented as others, I will always continue drawing and draw Sanji because he makes me feel like I can be somebody.

I love Minecraft and Minecraft Scary Stories, so what inspired me to create this was the Minecraft Scary Story Error 422.

My name is Mali, and I was inspired by a picture in my room. I have an amazing teacher who helped me with the foundation of this piece.

I am 9 years old and I love art. I love to draw and paint with water colors. My sister loves Harry Potter and my teacher suggested I try to make it. I am proud of my painting. It makes me happy to paint and see other peoples reactions.

Hi! I'm Sasha. I'm 11 years old. I've never done something like this before, so I'm really excited! This is cover art for a book I'm writing called Enemies and Elements. I designed the cover to look like the four elements - Fire, Earth, Water, Wind. In the middle, I subtly added a fifith element, Darkness. I really hope you like it, and my book should be coming out soon!

Hi, I'm Jackson and I love everything jets. The F-35A inspired me to draw this because it is my favorite jet and I think it's absolutely beautiful. When I saw the F-35A at an airshow. I was so excited that I almost started crying. I love the F-35A so much because it's just beautiful from all angles no matter what.

I am a natural Artist. Art flows through my hands. My art is gold. I have a natural talent in painting since a young child. I also create digital art drawing from cartoons I enjoy, i.e. Sprinkles, Rainbow Friends, Smiling Critters, Minecraft and more. My favorite art form is Angelic Art. I paint in all mediums: acrylic, metallic acrylic, oil, fluid art, Impasto (Italian Art), Suminagashi (Japanese Art), tempera, sensorial art, watercolor, glow in the dark artwork, airbrush painting and beyond!

This was inspired by the video game Dreamcore. I am currently making a book based off of the style/vibe, its called Catacombs. Catacombs is what inspired me to make this piece. I hope you like it!

Hello, I’m Hayden! I love to read, play sports, write, drawing dragons, etc. I’ve been doing art class with Ms. April Taylor for a year, and before that, I have been taking other Outschool art classes. If I’m being honest, the inspiration for my painting came from a watercolor class with Ms. April Taylor. It made me feel extremely happy because of the outcome, since water color isn’t my strong suit. I owe my teacher a huge, clap clap clap and thanks! Thank you so much for your time! -Hayden

My name is adelynn and I love dragons,drawing, hamsters, and my family. What inspired my piece is Wings of fire. I love this series of books. It makes me feel proud and happy.

My Name is Zayaan Ali Qureshi, I am home schooled and have been on out school since nursery/ pre K. My mom says Im very talented and a Genius, I don't think so but I think Drawing is my special power. I see things differently then others when I draw I see moving story, acting and expressions. I like to explain the action and story through my drawings I am inspired by characters and action. I hope you like what I do :)

I live in Alaska I love animals, horses are my favorite animal. I have 2 pet parakeets, 2 pet cats, and 3 pet goats. I painted this piece in my watercolor class. I have never been very confident in drawing/painting people, this is one of the first paintings I have done of a person and I am very proud of how it turned out.

I made this because I lived in a city for 8 years and I loved it. The lights, the sounds, everything. It makes me feel at peace because I remember looking out the windows and hearing the honking of the horns, seeing the lights, and being up in a tall building being able to see everything below. And all of that, to me was very peaceful and calming.

my great grandmother was a watercolor artist and she inspired my love for art. I started painting once she passed away.

I have been an ongoing Outschool student for 5 years and been improving my animations ever since. What inspired me to make this animation was my love for music, as that is what got me into animation in the first place. I am really proud of how this animation turned out, since it took a whole month to complete all on my own.

I go to the Outschool class "The Original Pokemon Drawing Club" every Monday night. In my class, Teacher Billy gave me the instructions to make Scorbunny. He is my favorite Pokemon, and my artwork makes me feel great!

this art work makes me feel sad for the bird🐦‍⬛ on the left, let me explain. the bird on the left is using a jet pack, not its wings it is sad because now it has no perpous for its wings. while the bird on the right is using its wings soring freely and not a jet pack. the bird on left is using a jet pack because engineers went to far and now it can't fly without a jet pack the end.

I like horses and sailing. It started off as the portrait of my house and then evolved to a beach scene.

This picture makes me feel happy. I was thinking of painting like I was in the sky looking down.

The inspiration for my piece was Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, a video game that I love. I feel really proud of my work because I worked really hard on it. My favorite part of this piece is the way that I mixed markers and colored pencils together. I hope you like it too!

Vivian is a creative and imaginative drawing artist who brings ideas to life through her unique perspective and attention to detail. She enjoys expressing herself through sketches, using lines, shapes, and shading to tell stories and capture emotions. Her artwork reflects both her creativity and her growing confidence as an artist, making each piece a meaningful expression of how she sees the world.

The first thing you should know about me is that I love to write - and of course, draw! This illustration is the cover for a novel that I currently am writing. It is a love story about a girl and a prince who despite their circumstances, build their own happy ending. This book in particular is inspired by my favorite author, Jane Austen. This story holds special meaning for me because I have been working on it since I was seven years old.

I'm Malachi. I like a variety of random stuff. One of those things is squids, and this is a Giant Squid. It lives very, very deep under water. It inspires me because it is massive, and it is cool because it is quite elusive.

My name is Harriet! My work is inspired by the Warrior Cats book series. I have met many people because of this series who are also inspired to draw because of it. "Sharing Dreams" shows my original character Skyleaf and the series' most popular cat, Firestar. They are doing the cats' custom of "sharing dreams" with StarClan, the spirits of their ancestors. It shows Firestar as a ghost, representing how even though warrior cats was released years ago, they still inspire fans worldwide.

When I get bored I try to think up creative things to do and try out. I have tried a lot of things that haven't worked and a lot of things that I am really happy with. This one just makes me happy when I look at it.

I'm inspired by game art

It inspires me to be courageous and THINK BIG!!!

This painting is inspired by SZA’s SOS album cover, where she’s sitting alone at the edge of a diving board surrounded by the ocean. That image was based on a famous photo of Princess Diana sitting the same way on a yacht in 1997. I wanted to capture a similar feeling of isolation and not belonging, even as the world watches. The blue tones represent calm on the outside but sadness underneath.

Dragons are my favorite mystical beast. My ice dragon makes me feel strong and powerful. It inspires empowerment.

I am inspired by nature and feel most at peace when doing art. Nature and art make me feel like I belong in a world that can sometimes feel lonely.

My name is Holland and my piece inspires me because Godzilla is a leader. It makes me feel like the piece is charging up.

I just wanted to draw a colorful mythical creature.

Even though I am not able to drink coffee yet, I was inspired by watching my parents drink their morning cups of coffee.

Art and animals are my passion. I love doing art that has animals pictured because we have so many animals and pets at our home. I love nature, especially birds, and have loved taking classes on how to draw natural landscapes and realistic animals.

This piece is a representation of me and is intended to show how the song must end but that it still has beauty. I hope that it tells a story in the eyes of others.

I do gymnastics and love challenging myself to try new things, so she is a very inspiring person! I feel very proud when I look at this piece of art!

I am 11 years old and I enjoy photography. My mom says I have a good photography eye and see things in pictures to catch certain moments.

I grew up in a city and I loved the wonder of these sky-reaching monuments with many people all doing their own thing. I also liked seeing how ecosystems function like jungles and oceans. So I based this piece off of the idea of conserving and having industrialization and cities being in harmony and intertwined with the natural world. It makes me feel hopeful for what humanity can do if we'd allow ourselves to function with nature and actually make an effort to conserve the beauty of ecosystems.

I thought it would be really fun to try drawing a dragon eye. I'm very proud of it because I learned how to draw realistic eyes as well as improvise the shape because dragons don't exist in real life.

I have always loved outer space, but for longest time I did not like dinosaurs. Two things changed my mind about dinosaurs this last year. 1 - I began playing a video game that taught me all about dinosaurs. 2 - My mom made up bedtime stories for my brothers and I featuring the characters in my drawing. When I look at this picture I feel like I have connected three things that are very special to me, my family, astronomy and my new appreciation for dinosaurs all in one piece of art.

I made this using Procreate. It is a tiny plant that is growing out of the dirt. It was really fun to use an iPad to make this.

My name is Kreday, This is my work A Mother’s Love. In this work there are people trying to kill the gold baby dragon for its golden scales, but the mother tries to protect her child by putting her life on the line. This shows how your parents sacrifice a lot for you. I wanted to draw a dragon, and I wanted to add a story to it. And I was thinking of greed and love, so I made poachers trying to kill a mother dragon, to kill its child for its golden scales.

My dog inspired me to make this drawing. She is very cute and fuzzy but I love her personality best. She is very energetic and sweet. I also love watching her sleep. I made the art piece using pencils. The pencils I used were 2B, 4B and 6B. This was the first time I’ve used different pencil grades. Some of the trials I’ve had with this drawing were getting the shapes right and getting the lines straight. But the biggest struggle I had was getting the lines light enough.

I painted this picture after taking watercolor classes from my teach Caitlin on Outschool. I painted over it and then added some salt which dried on the painting.

Hi, my name is Dmitri. My grandpa taught me how to do stained glass several years ago. I love marine biology and anything having to do with oceans. I have a friend who has a salt water aquarium and her angelfish was born without a tail. I created my very own pattern for this stained glass window. It was a lot of fun to work on and have to learn where my glass points needed to be.

This painting represents the love I have for animals. And yes, I’m the kind of kid who watches a bird feeder for hours. When I spot a small sparrow, I don’t view him as an annoyance; I see him as a creature who has friends, a life, and a personality. This mountain lion’s gaze shows the trauma he’s experienced, the loss he has endured, and life he has known. It inspires me to know that even when life is tough, there is always a way out.

My name is Liam. I love animals and vehicles. They inspire me.

My favorite duck Sammy who loves to eat and swim.

I have always wanted to be an artist, and animals and designs like the one in my piece have been a major inspiration for me. When I began drawing this piece, it was not meant to be a “big thing”, but as my mind wandered and my hand took over, I found myself carefully layering colors and brushstrokes that I had not ever known I could create. It transcended simply sitting and thinking of what to create, and I know more awaits me in a future where I am inspired to create more extraordinary pieces.

Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams!

Copper's eyes are the focal point of the piece, nailing them was my inspiration. The drawing makes me feel accomplished and capable as an artist and excited to grow in the skill.

When thought about things that inspire me, one thing stood out- memories! I have many inspiring memories, but the most vivid and meaningful are of small moments. This piece is based on one such memory: of holding my dad’s index finger when my hands were too tiny to hold his hand properly. It makes me feel nostalgic, inspired, and maybe a little wistful. It reminds me to appreciate small things while they’re here, and to cherish the love that made me who I am now, even as memories fade with time

This is a picture of my Australian Shepherd, Theo. He is wearing a beanie while resting his head on a table. My dad is giving him a treat for being such a good boy. I painted this because I love my goofy dog.

well i love cats and i love Christmas too so I decided to bring those two together and make kitty Christmas.

My name is Teigan and i love making art. I usually draw anime style characters. For this i got inspiration from the amazon jungle and a Lotus flower. To me my peice gives me a sense of calm and peace.

I have always been inspired by crystals in my art.

My name is Gavin, and I made this painting because I love my dog, Mickey. He is the one who inspired this piece, and I painted this right in front of him! It makes me feel happy to see it every day and think of the dog I love.

My name is Makeba, and I drew this piece to represent characters in a book I am writing. Seeing this piece makes me feel peace.

My name is Thaddeus, and I love insects! They're different than any other creature, and even though they're small, I figured out that they have certain abilities that mammals don't. I think it would be cool to be an insect for a day. If I were a dragonfly, I would fly around and kill all of the annoying mosquitoes.

I used multiple techniques I learned from my watercolor class to make and layer this picture. I made it during class and also added more after class.

This piece is a drawing of an eye with only the iris colored to symbolize how if we look into ourselves, we all have our own “super powers.” This concept inspires me as a person because it helps remind ourselves to never give up and that we all have a purpose on living whether you know it or not.

The picture is called Spring. It makes me feel calm and happy. I like how the sky looks soft and colorful at the end of the day. I am a child. I love drawing, especially with paints. I like playing with my cat and my friends.

I wanted to paint something, and the reference really spoke to me. I went to a painting place to make it. It is a very calming piece.

The piece that I’m submitting is called Blissful Dreaming, and the subject is my cat Pierre! The art tools that I used were Prismacolor colored pencils, a white POSCA marker, and a color pencil blender. My cat, Pierre inspires me to take it slow, and relax when things get stressful. Hence why I put him in clouds, sleeping. Some challenges that I faced/trying something new were drawing the clouds, and using the POSCA marker for the whiskers and stars. Hope you like it!

My name is Amaya, and I LOVE doing art. This piece I have drawn was very fun. It makes me feel happy and proud. If I get the money I’ll split it with my brother and best friends. This piece was made by cutting out daffodils on paper and pasting it on the drawing made with pencil and marker. And to get the cloth effect I put a placemat under the paper and rubbed it with crayon. To get this opportunity to compete in this contest was amazing. Thank you,-Amaya.

Hi my is Winter. I wanted to draw this because I really love wolves. I love all types of canines but the wolf is my favorite wild animal. I like how wolves have one leader of the group which is the Alpha. They are the protectors of the pack and help guide them to keep them safe. Painting this makes me feel like I want to paint some more. I love looking at this painting and staring into the wolves eyes. This painting is now hanging in my art room so it can be seen everyday.

I made it with oil pastels during an art class with April Taylor. I live in the desert, but I love a snowy climate best of all. Winter is my favorite season!

Drawing is my favorite thing to do. It is relaxing. I wanted this picture to be perfect so I did a lot of drafts before I got it right. My favorite part of this picture is the sky. I used different layers of color.

I love the original and retro style animations. I wanted to create my favourite character in that style.

Arabian Horse on the Mountain top! Horses inspired me to make this piece of art! I love horses and I hope to become a veterinarian one day!

I live in the Portugal and we see many bunnies gathering to watch the sun set.

This is what happened when I found a passion for Amigurumi! I started crocheting six months ago after my friends on Outschool introduced it to me! I just love making my stuffies and giving them to people! This craft has really made me happy and I love it.

My name is Ellie and I like dogs and drawing cute pictures. This sketch inspired me because I like leopards and animals. I like the details I added on it. I want to be a vet when I grow up.

I was inspired by The Smiths and Morissey in particular with his yellow daffodils.

I named my drawing, "My Wise Friend," because owls remind me of wisdom and quiet strength. As the oldest child in my family, I help take care of my younger siblings and try to be a good example of responsibility, like the owl. My faith in the Lord inspires me the most, because He helps guide me to be loving, strong, and wise like the owl. This art makes me feel calm and thoughtful, and it reminds me that even quiet people can be strong leaders who help others.

I love digital art and I love the Warrior Cats books, so I drew a Clan walking to the Gathering on the island. A Gathering is where all five Clans meet on the island in peace to report their news and let their warriors socialize. This inspires me because I like seeing the world from a different point of view. Also, seeing different clans come together in peace gives me hope that humans can do the same.

Personally, I am very afraid of bugs. However, I've always enjoyed watching butterflies, which is why I decided to draw them. I am also commonly inspired by nature.

Howdy, I'm Savannah, and I made it! Whoo hoo! Anyways, why this inspired me was because I adore books, dragons, and playing the keyboard. Each one inspires me greatly, so why not put all of them together? This is Daydream Mirage, and maybe one day it won't be so much of a mirage.

Limitless is an art piece of a beautiful beach with a sunset, no stops, and horizon till the end to show no limits. My inspiration was that many of my days have been spent at the beach; and when I meditated, I would go there in my mind. I love the memories of sand castles and swimming in the waves. The sunset at the beach is beautiful, and it shows a day of fun was had.

I'm 8 and want to be an art teacher when I grow up. I drew this picture in the Kpop Demon Hunter art class. Kpop Demon Hunters is my favorite! I hope you like it.

Drawing can capture every element, emotion, and feeling that cannot be expressed by words. This piece was inspired by space, which I find both mysterious and exciting. This painting gives me the excitement of exploring new worlds, and I like to think about what exists beyond Earth. It makes me ecstatic and hopeful, and the dreams that begin in our imagination can truly become our future. Do you ever wonder about what exists apart from what our very own eyes can see?

I like waterfalls and I wanted to draw something fun.

My English name is Murphy I play baseball and is a big fan of dodgers. Once I watched “Interstellar” I am interested in planets so I create this to show how small humans and civilizations are to the universe. this makes me feel joyful because I love to express my feeling to others this artwork gives me a feeling of awe.

I was inspired by all of the media coverage on dyes and chemicals in our food. It’s a serious topic but I decided to present a message about how I don’t like all of the added unnecessary chemicals by use of satire.

Hello, my name is Heidi. I made this piece because nature inspires me–it’s one of my biggest inspirations! The girl in the dress is me, being inspired by the beautiful world around us! By my house, poppies bloom on the hills around this time, and it’s beautiful. You can see mountains in the distance that are just a perfect backdrop, especially when there are clouds. I think nothing is more inspiring than nature, and that's why I made this piece showcasing that.

Hi. I’m Elena. My inspiration for my drawing was my pet fish Oscar. I drew a fish because Oscar makes me feel happy inside when I look at him. He is quite beautiful and it is satisfying to watch him swimming around in his fish bowl.

I really enjoyed making this self portrait. It reflects the most dignified version of myself, and really speaks to the responsibilities a hold. I painted this piece with acrylic markers, and I spent a whole afternoon on it rather than doing my Homework…don’t worry I still got the homework done. :D what do you think? Worthy of a vote?

I've always loved art as a way to express myself. This picture has different layers and is a bit mysterious. It was inspired by the fact that people, like myself and my friends, are always changing and growing on the inside and out. Growth is not always perfect or beautiful but it matters and it must be embraced. Art is helpful to me as a way to say what I can't put into words.

My name is Elsie H, this art work was inspired by my friend. I am very honoured to be in this contest. My oc Lizzy is very nice, funny, and loving. She loves to play guitar. She has a very nice smile and she likes to swim. Also, she loves the summertime. Thank you! - Elsie

From a young age, I've been inspired by space through drawing and building with LEGOs. It sparked my curiosity and imagination about what exists beyond our world. Space makes me feel excited and full of wonder, pushing me to dream big. I hope to become a mechanical engineer and work with NASA one day. This piece reflects my passion, creativity, and belief that I can turn my dreams into reality.
